Barbara Thomassen Obituary

I'll remember Barbara visiting when Laura Jean & I were caring for Helga Rostvit while the twins were overseas. She came with many beautiful cards and stamped with us for hours. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

We are truly sorry for your loss. Our warmest condolences go out to the family and friends. We hope that the promises in 1 Thessalonians 4:12, can bring you comfort knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring. May the God of all comfort grant you peace, strength during this difficult time.

Don, Karin, Donnie, Even knowing of Barbara's years of physical suffering it still came as a sorrowful shock to learn of her passing. May she forever rest in the peace of Our Lord.
"For the Lamb who is in the center of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to spriongs of life-giving water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Rev 7:17

Fondly remember your wedding in 1966 in Bay Ridge. Glad to learn Don and Barbara enjoyed 53 years of happiness and settled in Colorado Springs. Carolyn and I visited Pikes Peak in September 2015 and never imagined you were living so close by.

Prayers for the loss of your sweet Mother, Sharon. I remember having such a good time talking with her at the VSP hangar when she visited Kim in Abingdon. She was so kind and funny! May God hold her family in His arms to comfort them and give them strength as they say goodbye to her and keep them mindful of the joyous reunion with her in Heaven.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I spent many happy times in your home. I remember Barbara as being an excellent hostess and cooking and baking many delicious things. My prayers are with you all.

Donnie, I never met your Mom and yet I know that she must have been very kind and caring. I know because I know you and what a kind and caring man that you are. I will be praying for you and your family that you will rest in knowing you will see her again.

Barbara, or Baba to the grandchildren, was an inspiration to numerous people. I have known her for about 17 years. We were going to be birthday twins, but I decided to come out late. If I had to describe her life in word it would be...giving. She was a servant to others and lived her life making others happy. I will miss her very much and my prayers to her up in heaven.

Kim~ I only met your mom once but knowing you I know she was a great mom. Blessings and God's comfort at this time for you and your family. Janet McGraw

Barbara var et fantastisk menneske som vi har kjent i et langt liv. Vi her i Norge vil savne henne veldig. Husker godt da hun giftet seg med sin Don og de kom på bryllupsreise til Norge i 1966. Da bestemte Gunnvald og jeg å gifte oss, så de kunne bli med i bryllupet. Det var en opplevelse. Vi har bare gode minner og hun vil aldri bli glemt. ❤

My Condolences to the entire Thomassen Family.

Kim I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mother. It is just so comforting to know she is with the Lord and you will see her again. Love you all. Let me know if I can do anything for you!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kim, and all of your family during this sudden and heartbreaking loss. Asking the Lord to give you comfort with the fact that she is rejoicing Asking the Lord to give you comfort in the fact that she is rejoicing with her Savior.

Oh my gosh not sure where to begin..... one thing for sure she was like a mom to me. I spent alot of time at her house with Kim. So much laughter, fun, silliness, memories and love, some of the best times of my life. Plus all the trips and activities with the youth group. Beyond thankful! I was so blessed to have that experience in my life. One that I cherish in my heart with gratefulness. And friends for life with the family. Love you guys

Barbara was a dear, sweet friend who our family loved very much. We will miss her. She was talented, caring and such fun to know. She was also encouraging and stood by us during times when we experienced losses a month apart in our family.
